Crates & Pallet New Shelf Bracket Projects for Every Room

ATLANTA, GA– January 23, 2018– Crates & Pallet has teamed up with crafty DIY bloggers to show off its trendy steel shelf brackets in every room.  Available in standard sizes of 6”, 8”, 10”, and 12”, these heavy-duty steel shelf brackets have the look of a hand-forged bracket with textured metal and softened corners, and are made to fit standard dimensional lumber for use as shelves.   

Bedrooms and Playrooms

Shanty2Chic’s Whitney Gainer and Ashley Turner used four 8” brackets to create these cool DIY Chunky Industrial Shelves for a bedroom.  According to them, one of the greatest things about these shelf brackets is that they are designed for dimensional lumber, which means you buy the brackets and buy a piece of wood and you are set to go!  To see their project video and step by step directions, please visit http://www.shanty-2-chic.com/2017/10/diy-chunky-industrial-shelves.html.

Jessica Nickerson of House Home Made used three 12” shelf brackets in her kids’ playroom to make a desk.  She wanted this space to feel fancy and productive for her girls and also to protect the wall.  The desk is just under the window and has a plank look for the wall as well as the base of the desk.  She says the brackets are perfect for this kind of project because they are heavy duty and she loves how they don’t have an angled support bar.  She also loves the pretty finish. To see this project in detail, please visit http://www.househomemade.us/2017/05/diy-kids-desk-with-shelf-brackets.html.

Laundry Rooms

BrePurposed’s Breanna Bertolini used three 8” shelf brackets to create a laundry room makeover.  She knew she wanted some open shelving above her washer and dryer.  When she heard about the new steel brackets, she knew she’d found what she was looking for.  She spray-painted the black finish a muted gold to finish off the look that she was going for in her laundry room.  According to Breanna, you can apply this to any room in your house, and it’s such a great way to get creative and put things on display that you love.  To see her project with video and instructions, please visit https://brepurposed.porch.com/2016/11/30/install-style-open-shelving/. 

Sara Davis of Sincerely Sara D’s also used the steel brackets in her laundry room. She used six 12” shelf brackets and spray painted them gold.  She had originally used a large peg board in her laundry room, but it wasn’t accomplishing her organizational needs.  She says the brackets are strong and gorgeous, and the project was so easy she did it all by herself.  To see her project, please visit https://www.sincerelysarad.com/easy-diy-open-shelving/.

Workshops/Garages

Mindi Carwin of My Love 2 Create used eight 12” shelf brackets to organize her lumber in her workshop.  She said there isn’t a lot of room in her workshop and this easy wood storage shelves project was the perfect way to fill in wasted space and give her easy access to the wood.  She loves how heavy-duty the brackets are, and would like to use them in her garage, too, and yet they’re so decorative that she’s looking forward to using them in her home for decorative shelving.    To see her project, check out http://www.mylove2create.com/2018/01/easy-wood-storage-shelves.html.   

Bathrooms

These shelf brackets work well in bathrooms, too.  Tracy Saylor of House Made Lovely made these pretty bathroom shelves.  She has been working on a bathroom remodel, along with her husband, and she did the shelves by herself.  She used six brackets from Crates and Pallet and is very pleased with her finished project.  To see more, please visit her on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/p/BZj8HGUlh1Z/?taken-by=housemadelovely

Crates & Pallet Goes Vertical with New Forged Steel Shelf Brackets

ATLANTA, GA– August 16, 2017– Crates & Pallet has introduced its new steel shelf brackets perfect for the on-trend open shelving look in home design. The forged steel shelf brackets align well in versatile modern, industrial and modern farmhouse design.  Available in standard sizes of 6”, 8”, 10”, and 12”, these heavy-duty steel shelf brackets have the look of a hand-forged bracket with textured metal and softened corners, and are made to fit standard dimensional lumber for use as shelves.   

“We’re excited to offer our new steel shelf brackets to consumers,” said Kara Deason, Marketing Director for Crates & Pallet.  “We introduced them into the commercial designer, architect and developer communities in the spring, and then tested them on big box dot com, and they have been very popular.”

The shelf brackets are painted black with the added benefit of being super heavy-duty, holding a maximum load weight per pair of 200 – 370 lbs., depending on the size.  The depth of each bracket is ideal for standard dimensional lumber in the corresponding size, making it simple to create shelving.  Use with an unfinished wood board for a more contemporary look and a stark contrast between metal and wood, or with a piece of weathered wood for a different look.

All sizes of shelf brackets are available through homedepot.com at https://thd.co/2t2xkL0, in select Home Depot test stores, as well as coming soon to www.Houzz.com and www.Wayfair.com.  Wholesale orders for shelf brackets can be made through the Crates & Pallet website at www.cratesandpallet.com/wholesale.

Celebrate Summer with Projects from Crates & Pallet

ATLANTA, GA– June 29, 2017 – Crates & Pallet is home to products and projects featuring a variety of crates and pallets.  Its national “Summer Fun with Crates & Pallet” campaign starts July 6 and runs through August 27, or while supplies last. As part of this campaign, Crates & Pallet teamed up with Brepurposed blogger, Bre Bertolini and is featuring her project, along with a project made in-house, on its website and social media sites, with step-by-step project instructions.  Projects will be posted by the week of July 10.

The projects used large crates from Crates & Pallet (please visit https://thd.co/2hv6WCR to see the crates) to create these innovative projects that may be enjoyed any time of year. 

“We’re excited to feature new fun projects and we hope these projects will motivate DIYers and crafters to create projects with our crates for their home, outdoor living space or office,” said Kara Deason, Marketing Director for Crates & Pallet.  “These economical projects will help keep you organized all year long.” 

This Modern Raised Crate Planter was created by Bre Bertolini of Brepurposed (www.brepurposed.com).  According to Bre, a project on her summer to do list was to build a garden, but as the days are passing by, she realized it might not be feasible this year. She really wanted to have some fresh herbs and vegetables to use in their meals, so she thought a small raised planter would be the perfect solution. “It not only fits in perfectly with my modern decor, but creates just the right amount of space to grow some delicious herbs and veggies,” said Bre.  She used two large crates from Crates & Pallet that are simply held together using wood glue. She then cut some 2x2 boards to size to build the frame and attached those together with a nail gun and some screws for reinforcement. The crates then slid perfectly right into the base and she used some more screws to hold them in place. She stained the crate planter with Dark Walnut stain and sealed it up with Polyurethane. 

Matt Campbell from Crates & Pallet created this bookshelf using six large crates. Inspiration for this project came from a midcentury modern bookcase that cost $1200, and Crates & Pallet built it for $150!  This bookshelf may be used in any room of your home and would also be perfect for your office or dorm room.  Books are the obvious choice to fill the shelves, and decorative items also add a nice touch and color.  Matt stacked the crates artistically in an offset alignment in a frame built from 2x10 boards. The boards were cut into two different lengths to form the frame pattern and initially secured using a brad nailer. Once everything was squared up, the boards were secured with three-inch wood screws. The frame is stained with American Walnut while the crates are left unfinished. Bonus: This bookshelf can be set on its side and used as a console, great for your entryway as a place to put your keys and mail. 

Large crates used in these projects are available at The Home Depot stores and always online at http://thd.co/29a98gN.

As part of this campaign, Crates & Pallet teamed up with eight bloggers, and are featuring their projects on their website and on their social media sites, with step-by-step project instructions. The bloggers’ projects centered around large crates from Crates & Pallet.

 “Why wait until spring to organize your home, when you can do it simply and creatively using these cool ideas from DIY and lifestyle bloggers,” said Kara Deason, Marketing Director for Crates & Pallet.  “From organizing kids’ closets to creating a rolling kitchen island, these projects can get you started on beating the winter blues and organizing your home after the holidays.” 

First we have a mudroom bench created by blogger, Jamie Costiglio of That’s My Letter (www. thatsmyletter.blogspot.com).  She used four large crates to make an attractive and practical storage bench to store hats, scarves, gloves, as well as things like games and toys.  The bench makes a great place to sit to slip boots and other winter gear on and off, and easily put away before going into the main part of the house.

 The second project is a pantry made from crates.  Sawdust 2 Stitches blogger, Corey Decker (www.sawdust2stitches.com), created this pantry to hold everything from spices to canned goods to paper goods.  She used large crates, small crates, half wall crates, vegetable crates, and one tall wall crate.

Next, this rolling kitchen island is the ultimate in kitchen organization.  Mindi Carwin from My Love 2 Create (www.mylove2create.com) made this handy island with a variety of products from Crates and Pallet.  Products included large crates, small crates, vegetable crates, and one each of the half crate, tall wall crate, and half wall crate.

The sliding crate closet is a smart way to make the best use of space in your smaller closets.  Brad Rodriguez from Fix This Build That (www.fixthisbuildthat.com) created this organized use of a hall closet. There is a place to hang your coats, store your vacuum and also organize games, hats, mittens, scarves, and many other items.  The crates slide, so you can check them easily and put away what you don’t need, or grab something you do.

 Other clever organizational winter projects include a kid’s closet from Addicted 2 DIY (www.addicted2diy.com), a pantry makeover project from My Sweet Savannah (www.mysweetsavannah.com), a wine crate storage project from One Artsy Mama (www.oneartsymama.com), and a crate storage bench from Always Never Done (www.alwaysneverdone.com).

Crates & Pallet Creates, Fun, Economical Storage and Decor for the Dorm

ATLANTA, GA - August 4, 2015 - Crates and Pallet is home to products and projects featuring a variety of crates and pallets. It's "Back to School Campaign" continues and is focusing on economical ways to add storage and decor to any dorm room. The company has recently built fun furniture and decor using its small and large wood crates and half pallets to outfit an entire dorm room. 

For just a little over $350.00 in Crates and Pallets products, using seven small crates, 21 large crates and two half pallets, this dorm room was transformed into a wonderful student home. Not only is this decorating on a budget, but a dorm room made up of wooden crates makes for easy moving the next school year! 

A half pallet was used to create a headboard for the bed, and hooks were added to the side to hang headphones or phone cords. Adding casters to large crates makes for easy and accessible under the bed storage. The crate desk fits perfectly into the room and is just one of many desk designs that you can build using crates. This one in particular is made using eight large crates for the desk frame and six small crates for the drawers. A half pallet was painted with chalkboard paint to create a wall calendar above the desk. The large crates also make great floating shelves above the bed. A scone was made out of a small crate by drilling a one inch hole at one end of the crate and attaching a pendant kit. After attaching the kit, you are able to screw in a lightbulb for a cool light! Finally, a leaning bookshelf was created by stacking five large crates in a ladder-like form. Two side panels with mitered ends raise the crates and allow them to lean against the wall. 

Large and small crates used in these projects are available at The Home Depot Stores and as always online at http://bitly.com/1AjStQQ. Crates and pallet makes new crates and pallets in various sizes that are sold to major big box retailers.

ATLANTA, GA - July 8, 2015 - Crates and Pallet is home to products and projects featuring a variety of crates and pallets. Its national "Back to School" campaign starts today and runs through early August. As part of this campaign, Crates and Pallet teamed up with four bloggers, and are featuring their projects on their website and their social media sites, with step-by-step project instructions on their Blog. 

The bloggers used small and large crates from Crates and Pallet (please visit http://thd.co/1Gf75kl and http://thd.co/1DJ7j6U to see the crates) to create cool back to school themed projects. In addition, Crates and Pallet is featuring one of its own creations, a crate desk. 

"We're excited to showcase some new fun back to school projects and hope these projects will motivate DIYers and crafters to create projects with our crates for their home and dorm," said Kara Deason, Marketing Director for Crates and Pallet. "These economical projects will help organize your dorm room or room at home to store backpacks, lunch boxes, sports equipment, band equipment, and the list goes on."

First up are cool Locker Cubbies by blogger Jaime Costiglio from That's My Letter (www.thatsmyletter.blogspot.com). Jaime says her kids really like them, and even though they are out of school for the summer, they have already filled them up with their school supplies. The Locker Cubbies were created out of six small crates and six large crates. Organize your family using these six cubbies and six drawers during the school year and all summer long to store crafts, books, pens, scarves or practically anything. There's no age limit on this piece and you can paint or stain it in any color you can image. 

Next is Mudroom Storage Cubbies. Pauline Henderson from My Altered State (www.myalteredstate.co) designed these cool pieces with five large and three small crates. Kids and adults of all ages will stay organized with these cubbies where they can hang up backpacks and jackets, store boots, books and sports equipment. Don't have a mudroom? No problem! These cubbies will fit in a closet, garage, or any area of your home. If you are short on space, these cubbies are long on organizing your space. 

Third on the list is the Garage Sports Organization Area made by Maryann Caballero from Domestically Speaking (www.domesticallyspeaking.com). This project organizes all of your sporting equipment and summer fun actives into one area- beach chairs, sand buckets, balls, tennis racquets, and other sporting goods are all in one place, so they are always easy to find. Maryann used two large, two extra large, two medium, two tall, and two vegetable crates to make this cool garage organizer. 

The fourth project is an Equipment Storage Unit. Designed by Melaine Thompson from My Sweet Savannah (www.mysweetsavannahblog.com), this handy sports equipment storage unit holds everything from sporting equipment, boots, totes, awards, and more. Melanie used six large crates to create this economical way to store all of your home athlete's gear year-round. 

And finally, the Crate Desk by Crates and Pallet was created with eight large crates with six small crates used for the drawers. Students of all ages can do their homework form this fun and thrifty desk. The easy design is one of several you can create using crates. Adults can use it in their office or it makes a great crafting desk. Dress up the drawers with cool handles and you can paint or stain it to match any decor.
